This team has the nastiest attitude I've ever seen in Seattle, from ANY team. The Sonics were kinda nasty with The Glove back in the day, but even they weren't like this.

Did anyone see that pic that Sherm posted on his twitter account? He ended up taking it down already. Anyway, it was a picture of Sherm up in Brady's face after the game and Sherm had typed "You Mad Bro?" above it. Freakin classic. I LOVE this kid! I love this defense!

The attitude the defense has is great. But I don't like it going to Twitter. Doesn't matter the team or player, I've just never been a fan of it. Hell, the dejected photo of Sherm in his face after the game was amazing. Loved it. Just keep in on the field though.

I don't care about public shit talking. Especially when it's on his own Twitter account and after the game. I do however not like it when someone talks mad trash pregame and then goes into the game and drops every ball thrown to him ...

I think Sherman was more frustrated with something him and his young teammates are just noticing and that is if you play here, it is easy to overlook what you are doing. He and Bruce Irvin both mentioned the "Pretender" label the NFLN guys put on them. You hear it in his KIRO aftergame interview.

He was venting and showing his disgust with the national perception of things. Deep down, he and Doug Baldwin know that they lost some money due to perceptions coming out of College. You have a team of mid-round talent that have a chip on their shoulders. This year and last, our 1st rounders were laughed at as reaches, so it isn't like they don't feel the brush off either. The only true Blue bloods on this team without question are Earl and Russell Okung. All the others have a stigma to overcome. Leon Washington, Michael Robinson, Mebane, Red, Clemons, Branch. The list goes on and on.

He probably cooled down from the emotions of the game and took down the "U Mad Bro" pic. But it is too late as that has already spread like wildfire. NEP will use it to motivate themselves for the Jets and dismiss his tweets as a sore winner, since they wouldn't understand what his deal is. Figure he is just a loud mouth. I have already seen some of the national guys shocked that Sherman would speak of Brady in such light. Doesn't he know that Tom Brady has won multiple SBs and was league MVP? You know, the usual elitist view of things.

I don't mind a little trash talk - but I'm not sure that what Brady said earlier in the week was "trash talking". Didn't he just respond to a reporter's question about playing in front of the 12th man that he would "try to take the 12th man out of the game early" by scoring early and decisively?

Anyway, fantastic game today - but until we win a Super Bowl or two let's not act like we own the Pats. They have as good a shot as anyone in the AFC to go to the Super Bowl. Maybe a rematch?

I'm pretty old school about trash talking. Do your talking on the field.

I read a lot of what Brady said this week and didn't see anything I would call "trash". He clearly said they would do what they always try to do, take the home crowd out of the game by scoring early. What's trash talking about that?

The Patriots are what we aspire to be teamwise. They come in do their job, win lots of games, and the people have learned to love and expect them to do well. Any other team with their record would be getting the same respect.

And boy Brady's after game interview was polite, tho strained. He very clearly said they had lots of chances but didn't get it done and we made the most of our chances and won the game.

Nice to know he hasn't forgotten how it feels to lose. And he plays pretty damned well for someone that has to be on the downside of his career, what over 10 years?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not supporting Brady. but he and the Patriots are a pretty classy team. They play and act like a team that has been on top a lot and expect to win. Just like the Packers of the 60s, stillirs of the 70s, ninners of the 80s. They don't need to go to some website and crow, they have done their speaking on the field.

Will the Seahawks ever get that panache? I now think so, hope they handle it well.

Can you even imagine how much of that stuff goes on during the game? Tons, that's how much.

I'll bet you can't even begin to imagine how many smart ass defenders have said crap like that to him during games over the last 10 years. I know I can't. To me saying see me after the game is a pretty classy answer and considering how few games they've lost through the years not a bad reply.

It happened today Sherman made good on his comments. If he hadn't you wouldn't be hearing any of this.

I think the thing that made Sherman most upset, to go outside the game and talk smack afterwords. Was the comment of Brady that he was going to make the 12th man boo the Seahawks. I would see how he could take that personally, I think the after the game part was just him actually doing what Brady said to do.

There is an attachment between the players and fans, especially here, as well all know. If I were in Sherman's place, or any of the other Hawk's I would have taken this personally, hell, I DID take it personally when I heard it a few days ago.

You mean the guy who made a touch down catch and the catch at the one yard line that was called back on thehantom holding call against Locklear? He didn't drop every catch he just had a high visibility drop near the beginning of the game.

Sherman can do what he wants, he backs it up and he's all about the team not just him. If i had to pick one player off our current roster to start a team with, i think Sherm would be that guy. He's as good as they get right now at corner.

To be honest, Sherman is starting to bug me a bit. There's a fine line and I don't know that he has the control to stay under it. Wait til he gets burnt and a player taunts him the way that he taunts them. I can just about guarantee he's going to get a 15-yarder.

Sherman was simply fufilling Brady's request. Come see him after the game.....well, he did just that. I actually have to give Brady some props here, cuz I didn't think he had that element of trash talk in him. He know's it was a gamble to say it, gave him some motivation, what have ya, although fortunately for us did not pay off this time. Love that Sherman paid him that visit after the game, now it's time to let this one go and start focusing on the 49ers.

I'm with Sherman on this one. Brady said he was going to turn the Seahawks fans on their team, and then he had the gall to trash talk about how the Seattle secondary needed to see him after the Patriots won (insinuating he was going to take the vaunted secondary to the woodshed), and then he didn't man up to his words? Screw him. He deserves to have the dirt rubbed in the wound.

Not a big fan of the Sherman stuff. Huge fan of his play, not a huge fan of his classless mouthing. Smack during the game is one thing- which is perfectly acceptable- but bringing it out before and after games is classless. There's a reason he immediately took the photo off of twitter.

I love the attitude- the nastiness...but you can have all of that and still have class. I don't care who likes or doesn't like our team. I do care about the individuals that make up our team and are becoming the face of the franchise.

Sherman has been a lot smarter about his trash talking this season. The guy has definitely matured. He just seems pissed right now about the constant disrespect of this team and the defense (3 probowlers, and still pretenders?).

Just last week Steve Smith (one of the biggest sh1t talkers) was in his face all day, trying to wrestle with Sherm. He didn't bite. He's been very chill for the most part, but I could see something got to him this week and he vented. Nothing wrong with that.

I am jacked that the Hawks are perceived to be some sort of "Bad-Boys" in the league. Look, this is Seattle, no one in the league is going to give them props, so this isn't a contest of respect. The team has basically established themselves as the Nasty boys and they don't care what anyone else thinks. I was so glad to see that Sherman picture and Tweet. You KNOW Brady was projecting his self-appointed greatness in that game. Bad move against that defense.

ET almost had two touchdowns, they slipped through his fingers.. Nobody and I mean NOBODY on that Patriot team catches Earl if he holds onto the other picks he grabbed. Brady could have thrown 3 more picks easy in that game.

The only concern I have and I mean only is that Bevell will get cute and pass even though Lynch is gaining yardage. 1/30/2015 - loaf

A) I do NOT want this team to somehow mature into the Patriots. Robots that give meaningless canned answers all the time at every press conference. Please.

2) The NFL is an entertainment product, and Sherman is entertaining. I like being entertained.

III) Brady was absolutely asking for it, with his pregame and during game smack, and he's always getting preferential treatment, so the national media is just shocked, shocked! and outraged! when Sherm follows through with post game smack. Give me a break.

D) If you read any of the Patriots coverage before the game, essentially EVERYONE in their local market gave Seattle ZERO chance of winning because we couldn't pass. It's not some kind of weird illusion that the Seahawks somehow believe that they are being disrespected -- they are being disrespected, it happens all the time.

5) The only way we'll break out of this is by punching teams in the mouth, over and over again, so they know who is boss. That's it, that's how we get respect, and if people refuse to give us props after we beat them, they have to be called out.

Sherm was talking about Brady talking smack late in the 3rd quarter. My seats are up in Sec 211, which is behind the visitor bench. We saw the exchange, which led to a brief scrap between Brady and Sherman.

After the Patriots recovered the Zach Miller fumble, Brady came out and was warming up on the sideline while the refs were reviewing the call (and I think it was during the commercial break). The Seattle defense was out on the field, and Sherm and Earl Thomas were standing over by the NE sideline where Brady was warming up.

Sherm walked over to Brady and it looked like he said something, then Brady responded, then Sherm got up in his face and Brady pushed him, then Earl Thomas ran over and Sherm grabbed Brady and it looked like a brawl was about to break out. Earl pulled Sherm away, Brady said something and Thomas and Sherm both said something back.

I think that was probably the point where Brady trash-talked Sherm, but I don't think Brady started it. I think it was Sherm that started it, honestly.

In any case, it was great. Because the Seahawks came out and just got NASTY after that. They really stepped it up, and Brady was playing scared the rest of the game. That's when he started throwing passes away, etc.

Anyway... I love it. I love the nasty attitude. It was that nasty attitude that kept this team alive yesterday.

Was that your user name then? Like Todd I've been around from the first.

I was very optimistic about the Seahawks back then (actually it was 1999). My moniker was "Superseahawk", even I can laugh at that these days. I had been drinking the Starbucks Koolaid bad. Being a fan since the Krieg era and was desperate and missing those days, I was pleased to see the offense kicking butt with Holmgren, Kitna and Ricky Watters, Chad Brown, etc.... Anyway this article says it all..."1999: Overexposed" http://www.seahawks.com/news/articles/a ... afe7d78710

I never posted as much as most of you Seahawks.net veterans, but i posted enought to cause attention, lol.

Since then, i've had to do my own rebuilding and tweaking, but i'm back, and looking forward to a great year. 2005 season was nice though, but I never thought of coming to the boards, I was not as settled back then. Anyway...on with the show.

BTW, according to your banner, your honoring Cheinhill, I remember his name on the boards back in the day. I never met him in person ( Maybe I saw him, I used to hit up the Seahawk/Charger games in San Diego) but in his remembrance, I send a shout out in his honor.

This team has the nastiest attitude I've ever seen in Seattle, from ANY team. The Sonics were kinda nasty with The Glove back in the day, but even they weren't like this.

Did anyone see that pic that Sherm posted on his twitter account? He ended up taking it down already. Anyway, it was a picture of Sherm up in Brady's face after the game and Sherm had typed "You Mad Bro?" above it. Freakin classic. I LOVE this kid! I love this defense!

I have to say, I"m liking this attitude as well, a different level for Seattle. I'm watching them become this self discovering monster, and they don't fight it, they glady accept it and want to impose it on every other team. That is Nasty!
